Chris Flisher: Full moons illuminate lives

Week of March 13We begin the week with full Moon at 22 degrees Virgo. As with all full moons a part of our lives will be illuminated. Consider a full Moon to a beacon or a flashlight aimed at a distinct part of your life. In that respect they are similar to eclipses as, discussed in the past, but to lesser extent. To the other extreme all full Moons also have an historically animated quality to them so that emotions run high. We hear stories of police dispatchers and emergency rooms receiving more than the usual amount of activity in and around the full Moons. Since this comes at a time when we have some fairly powerful aspects in other parts of the cosmos we might prepare ourselves for a bumpy ride. The most notable alignment is the opposition of Uranus and Jupiter, both at 22 degrees Aries and Libra, respectively. When planets share similar proximity by degree, it is known as partile. A partile alignment combines the influence of the two planets and heightens the impact or outcome. In this case Jupiter and Uranus are in 180 degrees apart from each other and that bears noting. Oppositions are just what they imply and deliver opposing influences, which depending on the topic or event at hand, can resist or place at odds those with different points of view. With such a divisive strain coursing through the politics of many countries, it should come as no surprise that as above, so below. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Expect to be quite vocal this week. That may mean speaking out for or against something or you might possibly be working on writing something. The important denominator is communication so bear that in mind and use that power to get your agenda on the table. Your thoughts may be very well received. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You might find the coming week to be useful for tying up loose ends for upcoming events. Plans that are either in motion or waiting to be put into effect may be the perfect theme of the week for you. With that in mind you may be signing contracts or negotiating rates and the like. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Your ruling planet Mercury will be in close alignment with Venus and together they will most likely influence your contacts with business associates. Opportunities to discuss new work projects or collaborative ventures are highly likely, so capture the momentum of the time and use it to serve your best interests. Speak up and be heard. CANCER (June 22-July 22): If you are out looking for new work arrangements or opportunities this may be a very productive week for you. Timing may be ideal for interviewing and having discussions about potential career shifts. Networking may be a key determining factor so use every opportunity to get in front of people and express your interest. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The coming holds great promise for you especially if you are teaching or presenting to others. Knowledge transfer may be another way to look at this period, but you may have a unique chance to get your thoughts across to others in an educational manner such as training or presenting a proposal.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Good news may arrive this week regarding support from an outside source. A typical area to look for such news may be financial institutions, insurance claims, or even elderly relatives. The same type of response might come from scholarships and grants. If you are in the midst of seeking these forms of support you may hear word this week. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A lively and convivial conversation may occur between you and your primary partner this week as Venus and Mercury join to bring lightness and action to your time together. You might find this an opportune time to discuss vacation plans or another joint undertaking that brings the focus back to you as a team. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Expect to be interested in a holistic health overhaul. As spring begins to reveal itself you may become quite mindful of the nicer weather and the chance to be outside and active. Your central drive may be health-based so any chance that you have to explore that idea deeper may be worthwhile and fruitful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may find that your curiosity is piqued by conversations that involve new and innovative ideas. Your ability to coalesce novel information and stimulating concepts is firing up your imagination in the most fascinating manner. While you may be quite willing to step into this inventive arena, you might also be conflicted about sharing your ideas. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may enter into discussions with family members regarding domestic topics and how they might shift or impact your career decisions. Suggestions from those closest to you may be insightful and allow you to think outside of your current limited range of possibilities. You may find that you are in conversations that involve both work and your home. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Research and investigations may be on the top of your to-do list this week. Whether you are investigating a new role for yourself or a close family member, the topic of mindful expansion may be upfront and tangible. Education, travel and spirituality are all key topics for your consideration. You may enjoy your findings. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A financial decision may require all of your attention this week as Mercury and Venus align in that area of your life. If you can use this influence to gather more information about funds or other investment opportunities you might discover alternative options. This may be a favorable period for you to take some risks. — Chris Flisher is a Boxborough-based astrologer, artist and host of “The Turning of The Wheel” on iTunes and other podcast outlets.
